Measuring daily activity with a small leg monitor
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study uses a small device called ActivPal clipped to your leg to measure how much you move during daily life. Researchers want to compare activity levels between people with neuromuscular disorders and healthy volunteers to better understand physical activity patterns.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a neuromuscular disorder (like muscular dystrophy or ALS) — or you are a healthy person without one.
- You are at least 1 year old.
- You do not have any medical condition that would make participation unsafe.
- You can follow study instructions (for example, wearing a small activity monitor).

This study watches how much you move around at home using a small wearable sensor if you have CMT1A, a genetic nerve condition that affects walking. Researchers want to understand daily activity patterns to better support patients with this condition.
This study observes how your arms and legs move as you walk or do other activities. It compares people with conditions that affect movement (like muscle diseases) to healthy volunteers to understand differences.
This study assesses physical activity in people with different muscle diseases (like Duchenne, FSHD, and others) and in healthy volunteers. It helps doctors understand how these conditions affect daily movement and function.
This study uses a wearable device to track movement patterns in people with ALS. It aims to better understand how the disease affects movement over time, which may help improve care.
This study tests a quick questionnaire about your walking habits to see if it can reliably replace wearing an activity monitor for several days. It may help make physical activity assessment easier during routine care.
This study uses a small device worn on your arm to measure how much you move and sit during daily life. It aims to help understand physical activity patterns in people recovering from a stroke with some walking difficulty.
